Nath Valvo 2016 Best Newcomer Nominee

Happy Idiot

This high-energy Aussie comic’s reassuring confidence, mischievous anecdotes and pin-point observations gave him safe passage to the Newcomer shortlist. In Australia, Valvo’s a regular on TV – including shows like ‘The Project’ and ABC’s ‘Dirty Laundry’ – and a well-known radio presenter. After the impressive ‘Happy Idiot’, he’s likely to be a star in the UK, too.
